Thanks for the reply 17RDXTECH! That is extremely helpful...I really don't want to order the wrong size tire. I will go for the 265/35-22 size instead. Really appreciate the feedback!

New here: Recently bought a 2017 RDX Tech. Link to my introduction https://acurazine.com/forums/new-mem.../#post15986904
Bought some 18" Konig's today. Gunmetal with a polished machined face to compliment the paint & trim.

19's
Not tons of info on wheels and tires on here, so I thought I'd share what I came up with for my 2015 Tech Package. I can't live with stock, but didn't want to go 22's or something like that, since this is my work car (Realtor).
Went with 19" wheels that I used to have on a Avalon with 245/55r19 tires. Tires are about 3/4" larger diameter than stock to fill up the wheelwell a little. Wheels are 8.5" wide with +35 offset, so they sit out a little farther than stock, but still inside the wheelwell.

18 x 8 wheels with 40mm offset and 255/55 R18 tires
Changed wheels and tires on an RDX, AWD base model to use 255 x 55 x 18 tires
Used Enkei Fujin wheels 18 x 8 with a 40 mm offset.
Dunlop SIGNATURE HP 255 /55 R18 109V XL BSW tires which have an AA traction rating.
Enkei Wheels 19lbs and Dunlop tires 30LBS = 49LBS
Original RDX wheels 26LBS and Michelin tires 28LBS = 54LBS
Resulted in potentially better traction, braking and handling with reduced un-sprung weight.

I really like these wheels and the overall setup. Will definitely use this as my template. So the +30/+40 is the offset for front and rear? Just payed off my 2016 RDX and now want to put my "stank" on this car. Thanks for the inspiration!
Any comments on the prism finish? I like something understated but still thinking about it. Can't see it much in your photo.

Nice clean design!

What's your wheel width? And how is the ride quality and fuel consumption?

Just joined the RDX family! This thread has been super helpful so just adding another rim to the mix. RWC Wheels from Canada. OEM fit. Also got new lugs and center caps to match, all OEM sized and they fit rims nicely. For those in the US, like me, was able to get rims from canadawheels.ca (arrived quick via DHL). Wheels are a great value and shipping costs reasonable. So far very impressed with RWC and would definitely recommend. They have several styles to choose from. Also happy with the Firestone LE3. Setup maintains overall smooth, compliant ride. RDX does feel more planted.

Hey everyone,
I have a new (to me) 2013 Acura RDX. I'm looking at purchasing a set of aftermarket wheels and tires as follows:
Wheel Specs:
OEM: 18.0"x 7.5" +45 offset
Aftermarket: 19.0"x 8.0" +50 offset
Tire Specs
OEM: 235/60/18 = 29.1" total height
Aftermarket: 245/55/19 = 29.6" total height
Question: Will the +50 offset be an issue? If so, can anyone confirm what size spacer would be required to make this a +50 wheel functional?

Thanks!!
Made me wonder why they didn't offer the wheels in that finish, in the first place.
Then I discovered... the swoops and curves in that particular wheel design, are very good at scooping up dirt and dust. Not so much of a problem when they're alloy/silver... but impossible to keep looking clean (compared to other wheels anyway), when gloss black. Hopefully your Honda versions are better with this.

For anyone calculating a different size wheel and tire combo, your specs compared to stock are below.

How Ironic
My initial post had the 20” VSXX I use to run on my TL for an idea of how’d they’d look. Now I have a set to rebuild and swap on. Need to figure out the proper tire size and rip these rubber bands off.

Aspec
Hello Group, new to the RDX world. Recently picked up a 2018 and to me these are one of the worst looking rims out there. Have a local forsale ad of a set of 20" Aspec from a 2020 model for just under $1,000 Im guessing these should be a straight fit but any thoughts otherwise on if this is worth the investment/swap? Thanks
